FRIDAY, JANUARY 17,1901.

James S. Barctjs, of the Terre Haute Tribune, has formally announced his candidacy for congress in the Fifth district against Mr. Holliday, the present incumbent. •••:.

A QUESTION OF HENEFITS AND ASSESSMENTS. To the Editor of The Journal.

Waynetown, Jan., 2, 190^—After reading The Journal editorial on street assessment, and their proper adjustment, I was reminded that on a street that is being Improved in Veodersburg, one man's house is left at least twenty feet above the grade. 1 was told it would cost ten or twelve hundred dollars to cut the lot down, as the house would have to be moved to do this, while another house would have to be raised and a brick foundation put under it and the lot filled at a cost of three or four hundred dollars. How would you adjust them.

Yours Truly, Edward Kem.v.

There is but one way to adjust such cases ae the ones above set forth. Let the broad principles of justice and equity prevail. If in making any public improvement a municipality takes away more value from a piece of property than is added to it, then the owner of that property is entitled to damages and it is the duty of the city commissioners to fix the amount according to law. If the amount so fixed, is not satisfactory to the owner he should appeal to the courts. In Crawfordsville the commissioners have frequently awarded damages, notably to the owners of certain houses which had to be moved in order that streets might be widened. Public corporations have some rights that private corporations or individuals have not, such as, for example, the right of eminent domain. But no public corporation has any moral or legal right to confiscate pripate property either in whole or in part, nor to damage private property without making due compentation.

THIS CANDIDACY OF MR. BALDWIN Linnaeus S. Baldwin, of Noblesville, has formally announced that he will be A candidate for the congressional nomination against Hon. Chas. B. Landis and

mass convention of the Republicans of his home county of Hamilton unanimously passed a resolution authorizing Mr. Baldwin to select his own delegates to the convention. This does not mean that Hamilton county is inimical to Landis, for the same convention endorsed without equivocation his coarse In congress. It simply means that the Republicans of that county have a just pride in one of their fellow citizenB and they desire to honor him. For the first time In many years Hamilton county presents a solid front and therefore Mr. Baldwin's candidacy should be taken seriously. He is a

gentleman in every sense of the word as we are informed, an orator of no mean ability and a lawyer of excellent attainments. Personally nothing can be said giinet Mr. Baldwin, and so there need be no fear that in the fight for the nomination personalities will cut any figure. Whatever may happen the contest will be conducted on a high plane.

However we do not anticipate a very severe battle for we believe that the people of the district will see that it is greatly to their own interest to return Mr. Landis to* congress as long as he desires to go. The reason is very simple. His experience of six years in congress will make him ten times more valuable to hiB constituents at the beginning of his fourth term than Mr.

Baldwin or any other new man could possibly be, no matter what his intellectual ability.

When Mr. Landis was first nominated for congress he was under heavy obligations to the Republicans of the district for the honor they conferred upon him. Since then he has been diligent about the public business and his tal ents have been recognized in congress and out, from one end of the country to the other. He has become useful not only to his district and State, but in being placed on the foreign relations committee is acknowieged as a factor in national and international politics. In Bhort, he has begun to repay the obligation resting on him. The district first honored him. Now the honors are mutual and reciprocal. Nor ha»

he by any means reached the limit of hta influence and usefulness. Rather he has just begun his real congressional career. The years that have past were principally years of preparation.

Now upon what grounds can Mr. Baldwin ask the ninth district to throw away the benefit of those years and be* gin the work of training another congressman. If the office of congressman is a piece of spoils to be passed around among the boys, then Mr. Baldwin's claim is good. If it.is a place designed to gratify personal ambition for distinction merely, then Mr. Baldwin may with reason ask support. But if it is a position primarily intended to benefit the people as we conceive it to be, then the man best fitted by experience and ability to represent the Ninth district in Washington is the present incumbent, Hon. Charles B. Landis.

The Senators Do Not Agree On the Philippine Situation.

HOAR WANTS TO KNOW

He Says There Are Confusing' Statements About AfFairs anil Asks Another Committee.

Mr. Lodge Who Is Chairman of the Present Committee Naturally Objects.

Washington, Jan. 15.—For the first time this session the Philippine question was yesterday touched on in the senate, The interest taken indicates tliav it will occupy the attention of the upper branch of congress for some time when the tariff bill is reported. The Philippines were the subject of an address by Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts, who spoke on his resolution in-

SEXATOIl GKORGK F. HOAB.

troduced Monday providing for the appointment of a senate committee to investigate the administration of those islands. Mr. Hoar spoke at some length regarding the unreliability of statements which have been made tiom time to time regarding the situation in the Philppines and the causes which led to the outbreak.

He urged that there should be a place where any senator in his official capacity could go and ask for two witnesses to prove correctness or incorrectness ot any question upon which light is desired. Mr. Lodge, Mr. Hoar's colleague, said he regarded the resolution as a reflection on the Philippine committee of which he was chairman, and the necessity for the latter would cease were this resolution to be adopted. His committee, he said, •was perfectly able to handle any investigation which might be conducted. Mr. Carmack (Dem.) agreed with him. The discussion was leading rapidly to an opening up of the whole Philippine question, when it was agreed that the resolution should go over. Mr. Mason of Illinois made a speech in favor of reciprocity with Cuba and discussed the protective policy generally.

IT CAUSICS TALK.

Mr. ltixey's Proposition Creates Much Discussu n. Washington, Jan. 15.—The house continued the debate on the pension appropriation bill yesterday and devoted nr.' fli time to the proposition advanced by Mr. Rixey of Virginia to open the doors of the soldiers' homes to ex-Confederate veterans. Two notable speeches were made in support of the proposition, one by Mr. Gardner, Michigan Republican, and the other by Mr. DeArmond, a Missouri Democrat. Mr. DeArmond's eloquence aroused both sides of the house. The Republicans, with the exception of Mr. Gardner, took no part in the discussion of the Rixey suggestion, which met with much opposition on the Democratic, side on the ground that it was utterly impracticable. Mr. Lamb of Virginia read a number of telegrams from prominent ex-Confederates of Richmond protesting against it.
